New year giveaway CS2 poster

Let's go through all the steps in order:

First, we needed to generate an image of a New Year's chicken in a sweater as the main character using neural networks.

Since the composition calls for the chicken to be on the left, you need to expand the canvas in width and height to place the character correctly. To complete the appeared empty space, use the neural network inside Adobe Photoshop, adding the necessary parts.

Crop our composition and add more detail to the image using the same neural network inside Adobe Photoshop. Then we add the necessary filters and color correction.

Create a 3D scene and import our image there as a reference for the composition. Then import the model of the game character and set the desired pose with the help of bones. Then we put the character in the desired place on the composition. Arrange light sources, focusing on the already prepared image with a chicken, to achieve maximum realism of lighting on the game character.

This is how the scene looks in the 3D editor.

Then render our scene and import the resulting image into Photoshop. We adjust the mask to immerse the game character in our composition, then we perform color correction and put the necessary filters, thus combining the image obtained with the help of neural networks and our render.
